Overview
Embark on a captivating journey through the heart of Alicante, where history, culture, and Mediterranean charm intertwine.
Your adventure begins at the iconic Passeig Esplanada d’Espanya, a palm-lined promenade shimmering with over six million ceramic tiles.
Stroll along this beloved landmark while admiring architectural gems like the baroque town hall and the stunning Casa Carbonell, one of the city’s most striking modernist buildings.
Next, ascend by elevator to the Castle of Santa Bárbara, a majestic 16th-century fortress perched atop Mount Benacantil.
From here, enjoy sweeping panoramic views of the sparkling Mediterranean Sea and the vibrant city below.
As we explore the castle's ancient ramparts, your guide will share fascinating stories of Moorish rule, Christian reconquest, and the castle’s vital role in Alicante’s history.
Descending into the heart of the city, we'll wander through the charming Barrio de Santa Cruz, with its narrow, flower-filled streets and colorful houses, a true taste of Mediterranean life. Continue to the Cathedral of St. Nicholas of Bari, a beautiful 17th-century church built atop the remains of a former mosque, reflecting the city’s layered history.
Our route then takes us through the historic Barri Vell Santa Creu, where you'll soak in the authentic atmosphere of local life, surrounded by emblematic buildings and hidden corners filled with character.
Finally, we arrive at the bustling Central Market, the vibrant soul of Alicante's gastronomy.
Let your senses come alive as you take in the colors of fresh produce, the scents of local cheeses and cured meats, and the energy of the market stalls.
Sample regional delicacies and discover the seasonal ingredients that define Alicante’s cuisine.
At the end of the tour, you’re free to continue exploring the city at your own pace or return with your guide to the starting point.
